Nah, I hate that guy.

 

[Deku Tree]

Interesting stuff...

Is Kasavin going to be writing the review as well?

**Xbots begin sharpening their swords**

 

[Ghost]

yeah, you know it 'aint gonna be pretty when the GS review hits the fan.

 

[EviLore]

Kasavin sounds fairly impressed (or as much as is possible, given his monotone nature). We should be able to expect at least a 7.3 or so from gamespot ;b

 

[Rhage]

From this preview I predict an 8.9.

 

[Goreomedy]

I'm sure Kasavin is a good guy. He's smart and well versed, and (since I know he visits the board) I hope he doesn't take offense to this...

I swear he's confused criticism with vampirism. When I read a review which leaves a game laying on the ground, sucked of all marrow, I know I'll find Greg's name at the end. And it doesn't even matter how high a score he finally gives it, the tone always strikes me as melancholy and arid.

Prepare yourselves.

He gave Metroid Prime a 9.7, so it isn't like he doesn't give high scores...

 

[Rhindle]

The suspense is killing me.

Metroid Prime is the best game this gen. When will they review it btw?

 

[shpankey]

I'm sticking with 8.3, but I will say it will be a weird review in that he will praise it highly the whole review. He will take off mostly for the lack of longevity and a few nitpicks, stated as such.

 

[XboxGamers]

The way he sounds, It's getting a 9.3.

 

[Andy787]

You should be greatful. If it were Gerstmann, it'd get like a 1.

 

[Ranger X]

Good but... he could have said something about the game lol

 

[seismologist]

He gave Morrowind a 8.5

Fable = 8.0

 

[TekunoRobby]

God this guy is terrible at speaking. Why don't they hire an actor or give these guys extensive public speaking courses. He seems like a bright & personable guy but his voice is just awful and he has such boring mannerisms. It's funny hearing him talk about how much fun or exciting the game is in such a mundane voice.

Oh and the exact opposite or EXTREME ANNOUNCERS are far far worse. Kasavin is godly compared to those shmucks.

EDIT: Sorry this wasn't meant to be a slam on Kasavin. I just think that GameSpot needs to either hire professionals or put their writers through extensive public speaking courses in order to do a "GREAT" job on these previews. Right now the writing is decent but there is no emotion or excitement and it just comes off lifeless. Hell I've read PR e-mail that have more excitement than these videos.

 

[Musashi Wins!]

he's not NEAR the worst guy they put in front of a camera over there. He's fucking Liberace on crack compared to some of their video-reviewers and gamespotting fodder.

 

[The Bookerman]

I'm sure Kasavin is a good guy. He's smart and well versed, and (since I know he visits the board)

Oh That's true?

GREG, you are indeed the worst reviewer in gaming today, and you bore me whenever I get to see a video review by you. Please spare me the pain give others the fun of reviewing long-awaited games.

 

[DSN2K]

expecting nothing highier then 8.9 from Gamespot.

 

[PhatSaqs]

Fable wins if it gets 8.5 or above from this dude.

Yeah let's review the hype of the game instead of the game itself like IGN does!
